Either as a word or a name, what the heck does Veruca really mean anyway?

 

  Besides being a character’s name in a children’s book, and then a 1992 rock band, what’s a Veruca?

 
ver·ru·ca /vəˈro͞okə/

 
noun 1. A contagious and usually painful wart on the sole of the foot; a plantar wart.
2. (in medical use) a wart of any kind.

  • You're going to break her heart...calling her a wart.

      I haven’t called anyone anything, I merely posted information that I discovered while researching.

    The wart is spelled differently, so I’m not mean.

      I can only go by the evidence as it is presented to me.

    The word means a wart on the foot - probably why Roald Dahl called the bratty kid that. She was also a wart.
